Your Building Safety
We want you to feel safe in your home. Providing a safe home is our priority. We have responsibilities as your landlord. You also play a part in keeping your home safe.
We have created the guides to give you safety information about the building you live in. Find out who to contact for more safety information or if you want to report an issue with your building.

Fire Evacuation Procedure
You must stay in your flat if you hear the fire alarm and wait for further instructions from the Fire Service.
The communal fire alarm is tested every Friday.
There is a ‘stay safe’ approach in your building. This has been agreed with the Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If there is a fire in another part of the building, you should stay in your flat for as long as you feel safe or unless the Fire Service tells you to leave.
Your building is designed to contain a fire within the flat or area where it starts. Your flat and the communal areas have fire doors fitted to contain the fire for up to 30 minutes.
Your building’s Fire Risk Assessment
Fire Risk Assessments are carried out every year by an independent Fire Risk Assessor. The building is checked for fire hazards in the building and is given a fire risk rating. The Fire Risk Assessment tells us what work is needed to remove hazards and improve the safety rating.
Your building’s fire risk rating is ‘Moderate’.
This means, fire safety improvements are needed to reduce the risk. A plan is in place to carry out the improvements within a specific timeframe.
If you are unable to access or view the Risk Assessments, email buildingsafety@thanet.gov.uk or call 01843 577262.
